Austrian Preparations.


PEsTH, Feb. l5.-The government to-day sub
mitted to the lower house of the Hungarian Diet
bill appropriating 100000 forms to supply
the Hungarian landwehr and the army reserves
with stocks of war material and to equip the
first band of the landsturm. All the parties in
the house, after a conference, agreed to vote for
the passage of the bill, without debate The
measure was at once referred to the military and
financial committee of the house. The pream
BILE to the bill explains that the credits asked are
demanded as natural sequence Of the adoption
OF the bill organizing the landsturm or volun-
teers called out in time Of war; The preamble
goes on to say that, in view of the military

the landsturm The empire it adds, is interested
in peaceful progress, and the efforts of the gov

must, like any one unwilling to sacrifice vital in

Germans taking the initiative render this con-
tingency unlikely to occur.
The difference between the respective organ
ization OF the two forces may be briefly Indicated
ny saying inst France is a little the stronger in
infantry, about in proportion to the general
strength OF her peace organization. She is de-
cidediy the stronger in artillery, and especially
in the number of her field guns. Major Huberd-
ing declared to the Reichstag that the French
batteries now contain 452 mounted pieces more
tnan the German, the latter having 1,404 to the
1,S56 OF France. On tho other hand, the Ger
mans are very much stronger than the French
in cavalry, having fully seventy more squadrons
and about one-third more total cavalry force.
one OF the highest cavalry authorities in France
declares that the disparity in this respect at the
outset would be much greater, since large part
OF the French mounted force is absent in Africa,
making the German available force nearly
double that Of the French. In a week or ten
days, however the absent French cavalry could
be recalled, and then the respective strength in
this arm would be an aggregate of about g. 900
officers and men for the Germans against 49, 900
for the French.
